1

Start by dicing chicken thighs into chunks about half an inch to an inch thick.

2

In a 12-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until coated.

3

Add the diced chicken thighs to the skillet and season with Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt.

4

Stir and cook the chicken until it's not fully cooked, as it will finish cooking later with the rice.

5

Add chopped onions and garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.

6

Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and then add the rice, stirring to coat it with the flavors.

7

Pour in chicken bone broth and add a couple of handfuls of spinach, stirring to combine.

8

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.

9

Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is soft and the broth has evaporated.

10

Stir in grated parmesan regano cheese and heavy cream, mixing gently to combine without over-mixing.

11

Taste and adjust seasoning with more Italian seasoning and salt as needed.
